There are many evergreen producers in the international drum'n'bass scene that manages to resist to the seasonality of fashion victims and more or less force-fed trends, and Tom Withers, better known as Klute, undoubtedly belongs to this elitarian and fully appreciated circle of sonic wizards. Klute manages to surprise listeners without altering his style, but he rather upgraded it. How? First of all by means of a wise and absolutely well-balanced dosage of many different stylistic hints in a shake that keeps on tasting like a Klute tune: the touch of jazz and ambient he injected in the crackling "Crimson", the soul-ambient breezes (fueled by the delicate vocals by Linden Reeves aka Stamina MC) he framed into a gorgeous percussive break in "Lose My Way", those way of warming low frequencies up by grasping them into flowing tunes, uplifting sonorities and emotional framework (another master in this art that can pair Klute is maybe Seba) in tracks like "Angel Makers", the sci-fi-clipped tunes of "The Dreams" or "Earth Spits Out The Living", the electro-break of "Accept Our Power" or "Clappy" (sounding like a group of alien making a party after sampling the opening of Santa Esmeralda's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood") are just some examples of his unabated creative flair. Titles like "You Won't Like it" for one of the best tunes of the album shows Klute's unchanged irony as well. In a manner of sybilline speaking, I could say that stars are dying. Some others are imploding. But there are stars which keep on shining.
